3.7 SUSPENSION TRAUMA STRAP:
The
ExoFit NEX™ Full Body Harness is equipped with
a Suspension Trauma Strap (Figure 13) to help
prolong allowable suspension time in the event
of a fall from height. It should only be used
in situations where a fall has occurred or for
training. To use the Suspension Trauma Strap:
Step 1.
Unzip the Trauma Strap Pouch on each
hip of the harness and deploy the
Suspension Straps (Figure 13A).
Step 2.
Raise the ends of the straps to access
the hook and loops. Insert the hook
into the loop that provides the desired
strap length.
Step 3.
Lower the Suspension Strap and step
onto the strap to alleviate pressure
of the harness leg straps on the legs
(Figure 13B). Adjust the hook/loop
combination for optimal comfort.
WARNING:
Maintain an upright position
following suspension. Do not lay down. Seek
medical attention following a suspension.
